UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

Trapista (third) is 5lb better off with Maninsane (second) on their recent C&D meeting, but that might not be enough to see her turn the tables. The latter, himself, faces a tougher assignment on these terms and preference is for GREAT HEART'JAC. Fergal O'Brien's charge made a winning start to life over fences when winning at Leicester in December and a subsequent 3lb rise in the handicap is unlikely to prevent another bold bid.
Prediction : 1st Great HeartJac 2nd Maninsane 3rd Trapista

SAMUEL SPADE finished a gallant second in the Chatteris Fen under a penalty last month and Ben Pauling's charge, who receives weight from his elders, ought to take all of the beating back in these calmer waters. Inchester D'amsyl made a low-key start to his hurdling career when finishing down the field at Chepstow over the festive period, but that experience should stand him in good stead. Damascus Finish heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Samuel Spade 2nd Inchester Damsyl 3rd Damascus Finish

BLUE BEACH has bumped into a couple of promising types on her previous two starts, most notably when finishing second to subsequent Grade 2 winner You Wear It Well at Worcester four months ago, and the daughter of Kayf Tara is taken to strike over hurdles at the third time of asking. Treyarnon Bay needs to improve on what she's shown so far, but the five-year-old retains potential and progress could be on the cards. For Gina can chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Blue Beach 2nd Treyarnon Bay 3rd For Gina

There has been no stopping BLUE SHARK of late and the five-timer seeking son of Shirocco looks set to add to his tally stepping up in trip from his latest outing. A 6lb raised mark for his most recent success looks unlikely to stop him here, but the class-dropping Lifetime Legend can give him plenty to think about having kept on for third over 2m4f at Fakenham earlier this month. Balinesker Beach completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Blue Shark 2nd Lifetime Legend 3rd Balinesker Beach

Tip Top Mountain was a game winner over this trip at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing last month, but he has to shoulder top-weight here and could struggle. Therefore, a chance can be taken on the Pam Sly-trained WILLIAM CODY. He bolted up over C&D on his penultimate outing before finishing a distant third off this mark at Doncaster last month. He might just bounce back to form returning to this track. Rooster Cogburn is another who is expected to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st William Cody 2nd Tip Top Mountain 3rd Rooster Cogburn

Force De Frap was denied a hat-trick when stepping up in trip for his most recent outing and is fancied to improve on his return to 2m, but it could pay to take a chance on PRIDE OF HAWRIDGE on his handicap debut. He was a creditable performer on the Flat when trained by Rod Millman and is fancied to improve on recent efforts in this sphere, while Ingennio is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Hawridge 2nd Force De Frap 3rd Ingennio
